"You said the Polish government fled to Kobrin?"

Lieutenant General Hoffman was in command of the car himself and asked the communications staff in a loud voice. These words made the officer a little at a loss, feeling that the telegram in his hand was like a crucial weight.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the Polish government has fled to Kobrin last night."

Hearing the staff's confirmation, Hoffman hammered the carriage hard. No way, my idea of ​​stopping the Polish government from fleeing came to nothing.

But then again, it is very difficult to stop a government from fleeing. Ancient and modern, at home and abroad, as long as the other party wants to escape, few people block it in the capital.

So this is more of a wish of Hoffman, but after the wish is shattered, he needs to consider the reality more.

"How far is our army from Warsaw now?"

This question is much easier to answer than before, and I saw that the communications staff responded immediately. "At present, the closest our army's vanguard unit is to Warsaw is the Second Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the First Armored Division. They have arrived in Gruyets, only 28 kilometers away from Warsaw, and will be able to arrive outside Warsaw this afternoon. The 65th Motorized Infantry Regiment The Infantry Division also echoed the 1st Armored Division. Its vanguard was attacking Kager, and it was expected to resolve the battle in two hours. They were 25 kilometers away from Warsaw. On our side, the 4th Armored Division had already arrived at Koubier, a distance of 25 kilometers from Warsaw. Warsaw is only 31 kilometers away.”

It was obvious that the staff knew what Hoffman wanted to know, and he reported to him all the latest developments in each department he had in one go.

And Hoffman quickly sketched out the entire battle situation in his mind based on this information. It can be said that Warsaw is about to face its own semi-encircled state.

At this time, he hoped to hear about the situation of his ally, the German army, so that he could have a better understanding of the entire war situation.

"What is the latest progress of the battle reported by the German army?"

In the face of Hoffman's question, the staff officer continued. "At present, according to the German report, the South Army Group of Rundstedt has severely damaged the Polish Army "Lodz" and "Cracow" two armies, and has now occupied Lodz, and a part of its subordinate 14th Army has already cooperated with us. The Southern Front has captured Krakow. The 4th Panzer Division of the 16th Panzer Corps, which is the vanguard, has already captured Wovich, which is only more than 70 kilometers away from Warsaw, and is expected to arrive in Warsaw tomorrow."

"And in Army Group North, the 4th Army, which had annihilated the Pomorie Army, crossed the Vistula, and was encircling the North Bank with the 3rd Army of East Prussia and annihilating the Polish Army Group Modlin. Also your old friend General Guderian The commander-in-chief of the 19th Army has broken through the interception of the Polish army from East Prussia, and has now reached Ostrov, 110 kilometers away from Warsaw, after crossing the Narew River.

"

In fact, Germany has been much faster than in history. First, it is less pressured by Romania's assistance, and second, it is better equipped. Because after the exchange with Romania, Germany put forward higher requirements for its own tanks. Therefore, the current equipment of the German armored forces is mainly the No. 2 and No. 4 tanks, as well as a small amount of No. 1 and No. 3, and R20 tanks purchased from Romania.

Among them, the research work on the Romanian R20 tank, the imitation and improvement of the No. 5 tank, is in full swing.

As for Hoffman's friend Guderian, he was deeply influenced by him, not to mention the use of armor, but the battle against Poland. In Hoffmann's sudden attack on Warsaw, the German side was shocked.

Because in Hitler's expectation, Warsaw, the pearl of Poland, should be captured by Germany itself. But now the action of Hoffman's armored group has made its idea in vain. It is no longer a matter of Warsaw being captured by the Germans, but rather that it will be given to him after it has been captured by Romania.

This will make His Excellency the Führer very embarrassing, and in order to avoid possible embarrassment for the Führer and the German government. The original plan to use the 19th Army to attack Brest and leave the defeated Polish Army in the Polish Plain can only be abolished. Now it is important to ensure that Warsaw is not captured by the Romanians, so Guderian's latest order is It turned into a rush to Warsaw.

And seeing the German troops coming to Warsaw in all directions on the map, Hoffman couldn't help laughing, which was so interesting.

"Prepare to send a telegram to the 1st Armored Division and the 65th Motorized Infantry Division, and Major General Rost of the 1st Armored Division will be in charge of commanding our army to fight in Warsaw. In addition, send a separate telegram to Major General Rost to let him pay attention to the armored troops in Insufficient in the city station, don't lose too many armored vehicles for me, or I will trouble him."

Hoffman's words shocked the communications staff. Because of the meaning of obedience, he doesn't plan to go to Warsaw?

This is Warsaw, Poland's most famous city, and which general doesn't want to take the honor of the enemy's capital. In this way, he was let go by his own general, Fei Piao Piao.

Hoffman saw the dumbfounded communications staff and said loudly. "Why are you standing still, why don't you hurry up?"

After being yelled at by Hoffman, the communications staff hurried to send the report.

"Wait a moment."

Hoffman stopped him behind him, making the communications staff feel that his general might have changed his mind and planned to continue to attack Huasha.

As a result, reality gave him a heavy blow, and he only heard his general continue to speak.

"Send another telegram to Major General Rost, and when he meets Guderian, tell him that I am waiting for him in Brest."

Hoffman's unrestrained combat plan not only shocked the communications staff, but also shocked Major General Rost, who was connected to Ren.

Being able to serve as the oldest first armored division is naturally not a generalist. In fact, Major General Rost served as an armored officer under Hoffman very early on. He joined the armored brigade in Hoffman as a company commander when he formed it. Although he did not have many military exploits in World War I, it was also because the army was mainly fighting in mountainous and hilly areas at that time, and the role of the armored brigade could not be played. big.

But after the war, when Rossu was in the conflict in Western Ukraine, he showed his prominence. The 3rd Armored Company he led was at the forefront of the entire brigade and made outstanding contributions to defeating the 14th Army of the Soviet Union at that time. And when he did well in the Soviet-Polish war, he joined forces with friendly forces to defeat the 31st Soviet cavalry division. In the Luosu War, he commanded the 1st Armored Regiment, and also served as the vanguard of the entire division, rushing to the front of the entire division.

Hoffman commented on him for this. Although he looks like a passionate officer who dares to fight, he hides the cunning of a fox.

It is precisely because of this that the first division will be handed over to him. This is the cradle of the Romanian Armored Forces. 70% of the officers above the battalion level of the Armored Forces are from the First Armored Division.

So even he was a little caught off guard by Hoffman's sudden turn in front of Warsaw. It's just that after thinking about it for a while, he applauds the general's actions again.

Although Warsaw was also important to Romania, they were armored and urban street fighting would minimize their advantage. But attracting the German troops is different. You can use the German troops to conquer Warsaw, or you can use Warsaw to attract the Polish troops.

And he immediately turned to Brest with his troops, which could cause confusion to the Polish soldiers and civilians who were evacuating to it. It is even possible to take this military town in one fell swoop. Although this does not belong to the future Romania, at least in this battle, the strength of the Romanian army is fully displayed.

Of course, the battle in Warsaw could not be without the presence of Romania, so his 1st Armored Division and 65th Motorized Infantry Division stayed here.

Major General Rost, who had sorted out Hoffman's thinking, immediately called the communications staff. "Give an order now, hurry up, I want to see Warsaw City this evening."

That evening, the 1st Armored Division arrived outside Warsaw. In the middle of the night, the 65th Motorized Infantry Division also arrived outside Warsaw.

And with the arrival of the Romanian army in Warsaw, the Germans accelerated again. At noon the next day, the panting German 4th Panzer Division also arrived in Warsaw. In the evening, Guderian took the vanguard of the 19th Army and the Third Division to Warsaw.

It's just that when he heard the greetings from his old friend from Major General Rost, the expression on his face was also wonderful.
